Chapter 9: Asking out

A/N: Another chapter!

Adrien and Nino just arrived at school. Adrien told Nino that he went to a bench near a cafeteria to meet Marinette. Adrien also told Nino that he could go without him and he did as Adrien told.

He was 15 minutes early and now waited for Marinette. He thought that Marinette was already there. Where is she? He thought. About five minutes later, there was Marinette went to his direction.

"Sorry, I'm late. There's a traffic jam on my way here." She told him. "That's okay. Lets get started." He said. "Okay." She answered. She explained to him on how to make it even better.

"...how about Ladybug theme?" She asked. "That will be more clawsome and also don't forget Chat Noir." He winked at her.

She rolled her eyes. "I will include Chat Noir if you stop making a puns." She protested. "How will Chat Noir survive without puns?" He asked wickedly. "Ughh. I hate you." She crossed her arms.

"No. You love me." He said. "Yes, I do." She said confidently without stuttering. Adrien blushed on what she just confessed.

Then, a realization hit her. "N-no, no. It's not what you think it is!" She was embarrassed now. "I didn't quiet hear you, actually. Can you repeat it for me?" He teased.

"Thank goodness. Anyway, I'm not going to repeat it." She laughed.

Oh my goat. She's cute. Did I just make a pun? He thought. Suddenly, he cupped her face with his bare hands.

He didn't know what he just did. Marinette jumped a little and turned her gaze toward him. Both were looking at each other's lips.

Is he going to do what I think it is? She thought. Then, Adrien closed both of his eyes and started to lean in closer. Marinette also closed her eyes and started to lean in. Almost there. Adrien thought.

To their unlucky day, the bell started to ring. They both startled at the sound of the bell and now away from each other's almost-touching-lips. Ughh, I'm almost there. They both groaned in thought. They both look at each other's eyes and blushed.

"I, uhh, see y-you to-tonight." Marinette stuttered. "Y-yeah." Adrien answered. Both were on their way heading to their class. Without knowing, someone was watching everything except didn't hear the conversation.

In Marinette's class, she couldn't focus on the entire lesson. Her friend besides her notice that. "You okay, Marinette?" She asked. "Yeah. There's nothing to worry about." She said.

"Are you sick?" Her friend was concerned. "Yeah. I'm lovesick." She answered and smiled. Her friend just chuckled at her statement.

"Marinette, Lila. If you don't want to study, just go out already." Madame Bustier was furious. "Sorry, Miss Bustier." They both apologized. As the lesson ended, it was now fashion subject. Marinette's favorite one.

"Hmm, Marinette. I'm quiet impress with your work." Mr. Andy said. "Thank you, sir. I'm dreaming about being a fashion designer." She confessed.

"Since fashion is related to art, I think you should meet my senior student. His name is Nathanael Kurtzberg. He's my best student at art. I want you to introduce yourself to him whenever you want or during lunch time. Ask anything about art. It can help improve your skill in drawing." He said.

"Sure, Mr. Andy. I will do it. What class is he in?" She asked. She would do anything when it comes to her favorite subject. "He's in BE10 class." He answered. She just nodded.

"Okay. Class dismissed." Madame Teresa said. "Before that, Adrien, I notice that you didn't pay attention during my class. I hope your grade is still mantance." She continued.
